iMath extension for Openoffice.org

The iMath extension to Openoffice.org enables numeric and symbolic calculations inside a Writer document. iMath makes use of the EQC library. Linux users will have to install this first. Windows users might need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

The development of iMath was prompted by a problem which I often encountered doing calculations in my profession as a mechanical engineer. I would first begin writing out the problem on paper, putting together the necessary equations, and then turn to a spreadsheet to do the actual calculations. iMath is meant to integrate this process in a single OOo text document.

See also the CompPad project which has a similar goal, and CmathOOoCAS which adds symbolic capabilities to calc.

Due to the OpenOffice/LibreOffice and Windows/Linux divide, sadly not everything works as it should. Known working configurations are:

  • Ubuntu 11.10 with LibreOffice 3.4, libeqc 1.4.4 and iMath 1.1.1
  • Windows 7 with OOo 3.2.1 and iMath 1.1.0 (thanks to Dominik Woźniak for testing it)
  • Windows XP 2003 with OOo 3.2.1 and iMath 1.1.0
